"In a world teetering on the edge of destruction, where ashes whisper forgotten secrets, Epoch Of Ashes is a gripping dystopian adventure that blends fantasy, survival, and the power of resilience.
Once revered, now doomed-humanity walks the path of its own extinction.
A kingdom built on deception, a ruler who bends reality with false promises, and a people who remain divided-some blinded by devotion, others silenced by fear.
"Truth is an undousable fire; when hidden, it brings down the sire. You may veil it, twist it, hold it tight-yet it burns beyond the reach of might."
The king governs not with justice, but illusion. His court obeys in silence, his people fracture under his rule, and yet his reign stands strong, held together by spectacles, rewritten histories, and orchestrated belief. But deception, no matter how carefully woven, cannot hold forever.
Through twenty harrowing poems, Epoch of Ashes unravels the rise and fall of blind allegiance-a battle fought not with steel, but with intellect.
It is a rebellion built on thought, where whispers ignite revolutions and silence weighs heavier than war.
The Prologue sets the illusion-an empire forged in deception.
The Poems dismantle it thread by thread-unveiling manipulation, quiet resistance, and the gradual unraveling of power.
The Epilogue lingers-forcing the reader into a reckoning of their own.
Yet as the throne crumbles, one question remains-has truth truly freed them, or has history merely repainted the illusion?
And in the end, the reader is both the king and the hero. They must ask themselves:
Would they recognize the illusion if it stood before them?
Would they break the cycle-or unknowingly become part of it?
Epoch of Ashes is not merely poetry-it is a mirror, a warning, a revolution waiting to be read.
